Garfield by Jim Davis for July 28, 2024

Have you ever had a summer Sunday THIS great?

awww⠄⠄⠄shucks!

showing gratitude is very uncharacteristic of Garfield

Happy Birthday Jon Arbuckle!!!

I love the wholesome side of Garfield. All strips need a wholesome side.

All hail! Today is Jim Davis’ birthday.

is it Jon’s birthday?!?

2nd and 6th panels are chefs kiss

Jon got a much-needed win.

GOOD GRIEF!

I always think Garfield & Jon are like Father & son. (And Odie is the other son and Garfield’s little brother)

I think I should draw Jon Arbuckle being hugged by Garfield & Odie and title it “Spaces Between” (named after the song “Space Between” by Dove Cameron & Sofia Carson)

Nice to see Jon not on the receiving end……

Happy birthday, Jim Davis. Thank you for helping to make this world brighter for so many years. :D

And me thoughts YOGArfield was his more active cousin.

Perfection is in the mind’s eye, eh? Always was, is, and will be. Happy birthday Arbuckle, only a perfectly content fellow can dance so well! :)

It looked, to me, like they were watching the sun rise and the sunset out of the same window. Must have identical windows on both sides of the house. Easy to get matching windows from Pella™.

This genuinely made me smile

Just a good day without pranks. Garfield will forget that unfortunate incident with the broccoli in his pizza.

Jon, the perfect host! Love second to last frame!

Sometimes, this family really gets it right!

Happy birthday Jon/Jim! It’s also my father’s 78th birthday

Is Garfield channeling Moms Mabley in the title frame?

Glad to see Jon get the respect and appreciation that he deserves, especially since he made a perfect batch of burgers, to make up for that time when he attempted to barbecue pork chops on the grill, only to forget to put the charcoal in.

Happy 79th Birthday, Jim Davis, and by extension, Happy Birthday to Jon Arbuckle. Nice to see the rare occasion where Jon doesn’t act or get treated like a moron!

The true meaning of summer!

God bless you, Jim!

i bet jim davis had fun with the title panel

Oh, I forgot something very important:

Happy birthday, Jim! Make it a very special one!

Jon redeems himself!

And thank you, Mr. Davis, for the years of love, laughs, and lasagna.

Happy birthday, Jon and Jim Davis! We love you!

Happy Birthday Jim Davis

A perfect birthday gift to share.

Garfield, showing genuine, sincere gratitude? Very nice.

He’s a cat, so I’ll let him get away with not thanking the Lord for a good day

We’re glad you enjoyed it, Garfield.

Instant favorite :*)

Summertime I love it.

That was lovely!

Ey. Where da punchline??

Have Fun

Hey! Jon did something right, for once!

AWWWWW!!!!!!

SPECTACULAR. Thank you, Garfield and the Jim Davis crew.

Happy Birthday Jim Davis, Garfield, and Jon!

Garfield feels it was THE Purr-fect day.

Happy Birthday, Jim Davis!

It’s good to be appreciated.

(Or so I hear.)

It’s not often Garfield shows Jon any appreciation for anything, so it’s nice to see it in this strip. Well-played, Jim Davis, well-played. I applaud you.

The 79th post. Happy 79th birthday, Jim.

I kept waiting for Garfield to wake up and find out it was a dream.

Warm smile and good feeling, nice job.

Today is Jon’s birthday (every July 28th). They should have done this the other way around: Everyone gives Jon a perfect day for his birthday.

Must be dreaming again

Today is Jon Arbuckle’s Birthday. July 28

What a sweet comic.

Great way to end my day

Anyone else think of the Lou Reed song Perfect day?Other than the title card I would say this was the perfect Garfield strip.

Happy Birthday Jim.Here’s to many more!

That was oddly sentimental

July 28th is Jon Arbuckle’s birthday (it mirrors that of Jim Davis). The others should have shown Jon a perfect day for his birthday.

Cute!

How could it be a perfect day when he didn’t even get to kick Odie off a table?

Wow that was a great day.
